The convicted terrorist who planned and carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing – who has been in isolation for more than a decade – has filed a lawsuit to end his solitary confinement.

Ramzi Yousef, 45, has been imprisoned since his capture in Pakistan in 1995 – two years after he killed six people and injured 1,000 others after detonating explosives beneath the North Tower.

Since the September 11 attacks, the 45-year-old Pakistani national has been in solitary confinement in a 7-foot-by-11-foot cell at the federal ADX supermax prison in Colorado, known as ‘the Alcatraz of the Rockies.’
